Ultrasound Therapy Frequently Asked Questions

What is ultrasound therapy?

Ultrasound therapy is a method that uses sound waves to treat various types of pain and inflammation. It works by stimulating tissue beneath the skin’s surface, which then increases tissue relaxation and blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and reduces swelling and inflammation. Ultrasound therapy is applied using a rounded transducer. The transducer traces over targeted areas covered by a translucent gel that acts as a conductor.

What does ultrasound therapy treat?

Ultrasound therapy can treat a variety of physical issues that can occur after a car accident, including but not limited to:

Neck and shoulder pain

Sprains

Wounds

Knee injury

Bone fracture

Pulled, torn, or strained muscles, ligaments, and tendons

Is ultrasound therapy safe?

Yes, ultrasound therapy is very safe! However, there are some instances when it should not be used. Therapy should not be used if the patient is pregnant, has a cardiac pacemaker, has cancerous conditions, or is under 18 and has not received recommendation from a physician.

Will I experience any pain during ultrasound therapy?

No, you should not experience any pain at all. Some patients may feel a slight warmth or tingling in the treated area. If you do experience pain, tell your therapist immediately, as this is extremely uncommon.
